ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Joey Rickard hit a tiebreaking double in the ninth inning and the Baltimore Orioles, boosted by three home runs, beat the Tampa Bay Rays 8-5 Sunday.
Artemi Panarin is in Columbus, Niklas Hjalmarsson is in Arizona, and Trevor van Riemsdyk and Scott Darling are in Carolina. Johnny Oduya is gone, Brian Campbell is in limbo, and Marcus Kruger could be on the way out, too. Marian Hossa might be done. Stan Bowman promised change in the wake of the Nashville Predators’ stunning first-round sweep of the Blackhawks, and change came in a big way over the past week. Now that the dust has settled, it’s a good time to see just what’s left, and just what the Hawks might look like on opening night, 101 days from now. For the purposes of this exercise, we’re assuming Marcus Kruger will be traded to get the Hawks cap-compliant. Kruger is due a $2-million

Who could blame Niklas Hjalmarsson for being surprised that the Chicago Blackhawks traded him? “It’s going to take some time to get used to that thought,� Hjalmarsson said, according to the Arizona Republic.

CROMWELL, Conn. — Jordan Spieth holed out from 60 feet for birdie from a greenside bunker on the first hole of a playoff with Daniel Berger to win the Travelers Championship on Sunday. The 23-year-old Spieth joined Tiger Woods as the only players in the modern era with 10 victories before the age of 24. Woods had 15 victories before he turned 24. Spieth led wire-to-wire at TPC River Highlands, holding a one-stroke edge after each of the first three rounds. He closed with an even-par 70 to match Berger — who birdied three of the final six holes for a 67 — at 12-under 268. Berger, the Memphis winner two weeks ago before missing the cut last week at the U.S. Open, just missed a 50-foot putt from off the 18th green left that would have forced a second playoff hole.
